The team finished in last place in the Canadian Division. The team and franchise were dissolved after the season. 2 Offseason On September 24, 1937, Tommy Gorman hired King Clancy from the Toronto Maple Leafs to take over as coach of the Maroons. Clancy had retired as a player partway through the previous season, and had been acting as a 'goodwill ambassador' for the Maple Leafs organization. The Leafs did not ask for any compensation.Montreal Gazette September 25, 1937 16 King Clancy, Former Defence Ace, Comes To Maroons as Coach Regular season King Clancy's time as coach ended with his resignation on December 30, 1937. The Maroons were holding a 6–11–1 record. Gorman took over on an interim basis.Ottawa Citizen December 31, 1937 King Clancy Resigns as Maroons' Coach 12 The team would be taken over by Tommy Gorman, who would lead them to a 6–19–5 record. The Maroons scored 101 goals (only good for 6th in the 8 team league), but allowed 149 goals (dead last) to finish dead last in their final season. The team would soon be dormant, as the backers tried to move the team to St. Louis. When that failed, the team tried to sell to a Philadelphia group, but failed due to the lack of a suitable arena. Len Peto failed to find a suitable arena by the end of the 1946–47 NHL season, as the team dissolved for good.
